I hide

I hide.
I hide behind laughter,
I hide behind untrue words.

I hide behind a mask that everyone sees,
But doesn't fully understand.

What does it mean when I need to hide,
To get away from society and this world full of wrongness?

I hide because I don't want them to see the tears that are begging of me please.

I hide so I don't have to explain why I feel so angry with a world
That "hasn't done anything" to me.

I hide behind a mask that I have made with my own 2 scarred hands.

I want to hide so I don't have to look at this world that had learned to judge me without ever knowing me.

I hide behind laughter, loud noises, and screams of joy that are so well perfected.

I hide behind 2 words that have rolled off my tongue so many times I forgot to count.
"I'm fine"

I hide behind foods that I have learned to love but never tasted.
I hide behind friends that I made but have broken me without ever trying.

I hide because I'm so good at it.
